4 Valve Applications

Column Selection

With the Agilent 1100 Series 6 position selection valve (G1159A) and the

capillary kit for Column Selection (Table 13 and Table 14 on page 43) you can

set up your Agilent 1100 Series LC or LC/MS system for use with up to 6

columns as displayed in Figure 23. Or you can use the system with 5 columns

and one flow path for flow injection analysis or for flushing the system. This

setup allows you to switch between these columns for faster method

development or method validation. The multi-column setup might also be

used, if several operators are using the LC or LC/MS system.
